Indonesia's Judicial Research Society (IJRS) research found that almost all defendants in narcotics abuse cases are recreational users.
According to the research, recreational users are individuals who use narcotics illegally and for their own consumption. These recreational users face imprisonment with a maximum sentence depending on the type of narcotics used.
91% of narcotics abuse defendants are recreational users. Meanwhile, only 8.1% are addicts, 0.8% are victims of abuse, and 0.1% are both addicts and victims of abuse.
An addict is defined as someone who uses or abuses narcotics to the point of physical or psychological dependence. A victim of abuse is someone who unintentionally uses narcotics due to coercion, deception, trickery, force, or threats.
The law provides for rehabilitation for these two types of defendants.
The IJRS conducted research on 745 narcotics abuse criminal cases from 2016-2020. The data was obtained from the Supreme Court's Case Directory.
